Hotel Europa is a budget hotel, and does not try to pretend to be anything else. The standard is OK. It is clean and the room size is OK. The staff at the check-in was friendly.
The breakfast was a mixed experience. The breakfast itself is good; continental breakfast with nice selection of ham, cheeses, juices, cereals and fruits – and the sweet cakes that are common in Italian breakfasts. Italian coffee was made to order. American coffee was available in the buffet. However, in the spacious breakfast room two different large TV’s were turned on, on different channels, with sound that could be heard also in the far end of the breakfast restaurant. Quite disturbing.
Free parking was available both outside the hotel and in the hotel underground garage. The latter was both spacious and narrow. It was narrow to manoeuvre into the spacious slots. There is an elevator straight from the garage to the reception and the other floors.
The Wi-Fi was the best on our trip, with a better uplink than other hotels had offered.
There were two downsides to our stay:
Firstly, I ruined my favourite golf shorts due to a chewing gum on the chair I sat on in the breakfast restaurant It may be hard for the hotel to catch up on that some idiot throws a chewing gum on a chair, but the fact remains.
Secondly, when my wife handed in the...Hotel Europa is a budget hotel, and does not try to pretend to be anything else. The standard is OK. It is clean and the room size is OK. The staff at the check-in was friendly.

Secondly, when my wife handed in the key at the reception at our departure, the front desk staff pointed out neither that there was unpaid balance (tourist tax), nor that they still had our passports (hotels in Europe have to register the passports of all guests). We thus left without having paid the tourist tax – and without our passports. The hotel did not acknowledge responsibility for not returning the passports, and we had to arrange for the courier shipment of the passports to us at our own expense.More
